EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Barber House ('Belmont') Washington, D.C. 1890s," is a stunning example of the grandeur and elegance of the late 19th century in America. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this image invites us into the intimate and ornate bedroom of Amzi Lorenzo Barber's mansion, known as 'Belmont.' Amzi L. Barber was a prominent figure in Washington, D.C. society during the late 1800s. The Queen Anne-style Barber House, designed by architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler and completed in 1882, was a symbol of his wealth and status. This bedroom, with its double bed, canopy, and ornate furniture, exudes an air of opulence and comfort. The photograph, taken in black and white, showcases the intricate details of the room's interior decoration. The chaise longue, with its elegant curves and intricate patterns, is a standout piece of furniture. The bed, with its high headboard and ornate bedspread, is a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. This photograph is part of a larger collection of cyanotypes taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1890 and 1900, which are now housed in the Library of Congress. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the wealthy and influential figures who once called Washington, D.C. home. The Barber House, with its grand design and beautiful interior, stands as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the United States during the 19th century. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
